A truly superb book. I read nearly all of Jacqueline Wilson's books as a child/teen and this felt like diving back into a warm bath - so familiar and easy to read. A great story about familiar characters, but well adapted for the adult audience. I hope there are going to be many more adult novels from this wonderful author!

A comforting and nostalgic read with the familiar characters we remember from reading the Girls series.

The story takes us on a troubled journey through Ellie's grown up life which can only be expected from Jacqueline Wilson's work.

There were some frustrating elements to the story and it could have been a bit shorter as the story felt like it was dragging at times.

Overall if you're a fan of her work this story will tick all the boxes and give you the update we've all been waiting for from Ellie and the gang!
